Own gorgeous jewellery design from Kuala Lumpur with Miramika

One of the best things about the internet is the proximity it creates between makers and and the people who covet their products. Hundreds of thousands of miles are almost magically reduced to a series of clicks, so that you can easily bypass mass-produced products and go straight to the source, to own the original inspiration behind some big company’s designs.

Miramika is a lovely example of a company making this happen. An online store based in Kuala Lumpur (the capital of Malaysia, if you too were about to go off and google it), it supports artisan jewellery design by making it accessible all over the world. The pieces they sell are unique, diverse and carefully crafted, and all bear that undefinable but inimitable stamp that comes from being made somewhere rich in tropical culture. Using semi-precious stones from turquoise to coral, weird and wonderful forms set in resin, and silver and gold pieces complete with their naturally-occurring flaws and imperfections, these designs are the kind that can’t be found anywhere else.
